Kapil's Team Showing Its Class: Sunil Grover Flayed For Asking Triptii Dimri About Bold Animal Scene

The Great Indian Kapil Show is known for its gags and celebrity appearances. While fun and frolic is synonymous with the show, Sunil Grover's latest act seems to have rubbed viewers and netizens the wrong way. A clip from the Diwali special episode has gone viral, featuring Sunil Grover’s character, Dafli, playfully asking Triptii Dimri about her bold scenes with Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal.

For the promotions of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Triptii Dimri arrived on The Great Indian Kapil Show with Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Rajpal Yadav and the film's director Anees Bazmee. A clip from the episode has gone viral in which Sunil as his character Dafli asks Triptii about her intimate scenes in Animal with Ranbir. During the release of the movie and thereafter, the sequence generated immense buzz online.

However, during the show, Sunil questioning Triptii was deemed inappropriate by many. “Aap ho jo Aminal picture mein thi?" Sunil asks Triptii, to which the actress replies, “Ji main hee thi. Dekha, maine aapne kya kya bola hai mere baare mein." The comedian then goes on to ask her, “Yeh jo aapne Ranbir Kapoor ke saath kiya hai, I hope woh sirf shooting thi; aise asli mein toh kuch nahi tha na?" the Qala actress laughs it off and says that it was not real. All this while, she seemed visibly uncomfortable, hiding it behind her laughter. Netizens were quick to catch up on this and called out Sunil and the showmakers over the gag.

A fan commented in Triptii's support, "Tripti has a personality that I can never dislike until she commits some crime. She is so introverted calm and lowkey unbothered for the drama." Another wrote, "Kapil's team showing its class." Another comment read, "This was more uncomfortable than funny. Why are comedy shows trying so hard to rely on shock value these days?"
